I am guilty of getting upset with people on the road, I try to remember it could be anyone ahead of me going through a number of things. Robert Cormiea BNI Rising Tide

1-1's drive your BNI success!! andy gallant-black bear BNI

As bad a day as you are having, someone’s is worst. Listen let them talk put it all in prospective, thank them and ask how you can help, for you only have so much time . . .make the most of it. A kind word goes a long way in both your lives

Lynda-DeadEye Productions Thank you Niels! A great reminder to change our perspective and 'choose' how we want to treat others as we want to be treated. TY

True. So very true.

Great perspective , words to live by. Richard Goodwin Queen City BNI

There have been times when kindness wasn't warranted but I choose to be kind anyway. It never pays to respond with anything but kindness. Easier said than done some days. :) Androscoggin Network Builders

Great advice. Be kind, recklessly.

I can honestly say I live by treating people with kindness (from a business and personal perspective). I'm also teaching my kids the same. Lisa Gates

Thanks Neal. Great life advice. From Black bear bni maine

A great reminder that it’s super easy to be kind when things are going well but it’s in times of stress that showing kindness and grace is most important. Manifest how you want to be treated. Chris Hill Black Bear BNi

Such great advice Niels! And you're not just helping others by showing kindness, you're helping yourself. Is it really worth the stress on yourself by getting angry over trivial matters?

Choose kindness is a learned reaction for sure!

Thanks for the video. Todd Langhill BNI Growth Partners

Well said Niels. I express the same thoughts to our employees. I tell them to put on a smile, take a breath and proceeded as they would like to be treated. Thank you!

Thank you, Niels.This is so important.

I can confidently & honestly share that after working over 37yrs as a RN in my rural community hospital, we truly practiced LOVING KINDNESS. It's something, when shared from the heart to those around us, starts to blossom in a positive way, and comes back to you. I recently drove through my hometown, and when I went by the entrance to the hospital, I noticed on the signage had changed the name to LOVING KINDNESS WAY. It made me smile and think of the many times we as nurses chose kindness to our patients and their families when their loved ones were struggling. Crystal Butler

Remembering to step back and take a breath before speaking when we are upset may save many apologies or lost connections. What a great reminder Neils.

Real talk 💯! Awesome message!

Great message! It's so important to be kind, always - we never know what others may be going through. - Amber Willey, 207 Wellness, LLC.

Thanks Niels, in a world where it seems that tempers are getting shorter and shorter, this is a great reminder! Doug Edson

Stephen Covey from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People teaches us to TAKE SPACE after something happens to really consider your reaction. Don’t be quick to react. Rather, choose how best to respond. Choose kindness!!

Kindness is king. Fastest way to get to results by collaboration. I start with kindness in all service situations, and it has helped me get upgrades, tips, and gifts. That's not why I do it, but kindness pays (both you and those you are kind to)!

Thanks - this is a great reminder that we always get to choose our reaction and let's choose kindness! Michelle Raber, Portland Business Builders

Absolutely! Taking time to reflect and a deep breath, being present and choosing kindness can change your entire outlook on the day, and then who knows what opportunity will come your way through your perspective shift.

Niels great message I agree.

This is so true!! We have control over our actions and choices. It really does make a difference.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Put yourself in someone else's place and always Be Kind. Glad you guys got home safely!

Great info!

I am reminded of the fact that you don't know what you don't know - when in doubt, give the benefit of the doubt. Kindness doesn't cost - it pays!

I couldn't have said it better myself. Nice job, Niels! Brian Switzer Bangor Breakfast BNI

This is such a great tip, Niels! I'm a firm believer in what you put out into the universe is what you will get back and practicing kindness creates a positive ripple effect. We never know what kind of a positive impact we can make for someone with something as simple as a smile. :) Sarah Blondin

Great reminder!

Eph 4:32 "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." It's always valuable to extract youself from the hurt, and see the situation from the other side.

Always!

To live in kindness has all kind of rewards. I agree it is a total choice.I had a similar return to Maine. Choose kindness 🙏

great topic, and thanks for the reminder!

Amen, always choose kindness!

Great message ! Kindness is the way to go ❤

Love this - great message to start the week!

Thanks, Niels for the reminder. We can only control our own reactions to situations, not other people's reactions...
